LITERATURE. TRAITS AND TRIALS OF EARLY LIFE. Colburn, London, 1836. The author of this little volume—Miss Landon— states that her object in writing it, has been rather to in terest than to amuse; to excite the imagination through the s o f ten i ng me di um of the feelings. " Sympathy," she adds, and with truth, " is the surest destruction of selfishness. Children, Ike the grown person, grow the better for participation in the sufferings, where their own only share is pity. They are also the better for the generous impulse which leads them to rejoice in the 'hope and happiness of others, though themselves have nothing in common with the objects of their emotion. Such is the aim of my principal narratives." And this aim Miss Landon has fully accomplished. She has written a collection of tales every way calculated to quicken the " generous impulses " of youth, and to excit e the imagination through " the softening medium of th e feelings." The best tale in the volume is that entitled " The History of a Child," which has appa rently been prompted by recollections of the author's own childhood. COLONEL NAPIER'S HISTORY OF THE PENINSULAR WAR. VOL. V. (SECOND NOTICE.) This volume, interesting as it is for details of battles and sieges, and two great victories, which brought the tritish army to the foot of the Pyrenees, possesses a still more powerful interest for the light which it throws on the critical position of Wellington, up almost to the eve of the battle of Vittoria. Independently of the vast armies of veteran troops arrayed against the British, there were other causes which com bined to render his situation in the highest degree dangerous, and which had all but brought the war to an inglorious conclusion. These two causes were— the apathy of the Government at home, and the treachery of the Spanish generals and patriots. The following extract will show that, but for the folly of Marmont, Wellington must have been reduced to the last extremities. In the month of July, 1812, he thus describes the melancholy condition of the army : " I have never,' said he, been in such distress as at Present, and some serious misfortune must happen, if the Government do not attend seriously to the subject, and Supply us regularly with money. The arrears and distresses of the Portuguese Government, are a joke to ours ; and if our credit was not better than theirs, we should certainly naive. As it is, if we don't find means to pay our bills for butcher's meat, there will be an end to the war at once. " Thus," says Colonel Napier, " stript as it were to the skin, the English General thought once more to hide his nakedness in the mountains of Portugal, when Marmont, proud of his own unripened skill, and perhaps, from the experience of San Cristoval, undervaluing his adversary's tactics, desirous also, it was said, to gain a victory without the presence of a king, Marmont, pushed on by fate, madly broke the chain which restrained his enemy's strength." To the other cause, though not so well authenti cated, Colonel Napier gives almost implicit credit. Of the first part of the extract there can be no doubt ; and we more particularly call attention to it at the present moment, when those men, falsely calling them selves Conservatives, are leaving no means untried to alienate the affections of a people so excitable and so brave as the Irish. After describing the intrigues car ried on at Cadiz in 1813, Colonel Napier thus pro ceeds : " When the bishops fled from Spain, Gravina, the Pope's Nuncio, assumed such a tone of hostility, that notwith standing the good offices of Sir Henry Wellesley, which were for some time successful in screening him from the vengeance of the Cortez, the latter, encouraged by the English newspapers, finally dismissed him and sequestered his benefices. He also took refuge in Portugal, and like the rest of the expelled clergy, sought by all means to ren der the proceedings of the Cortez odious in Spain. He formed a strict alliance with the Portuguese Nuncio, Vi cente Machiechi, and working together with great activity, they interfered, not with the concerns of Spain only, but with the Catholics in the British army, and even extended their intrigues to Ireland. Hence, as just and honest go vernment had never formed any part of the English policy towards that country, alarm pervaded the Cabinet, and the Nuncio, protected when opposed to the Cortez, was now considered a very troublesome and indiscreet person. " Such a state of feud could not last long without pro ducing a crisis, and one of a most formidable and decisive nature was really at hand. Already many persons in the Corte z held secret intercourse with Joseph, in the view of a cknowledging his dynasty, on condition that he would ac cede to the general policy of the Cortez in civil Govern ment ; that monarch had as we have seen organized a large native force, and the coasts of Spain and Portugal swarmed With French privateers, manned with Spanish seamen. The victory at Salamanca had withered these resources for the moment, but Wellington's failure at Burgos and retreat into Portugal again revived them, and at the same time gave a h eavy shock to public confidence in the power of England, .1 sho c k w hi c h not hi ng b u t th e m isfortunes of Nap o l eon i n Russia could have been prevented from being fatal. " The Emperor, indeed, with that wonderful intellectual activity and energy which made him the foremost man of the world, had raised a fresh army and prepared once more to march into the heart of Germany, yet to do this he was forced to withdraw such numbers of old soldiers from Spain, that the French army could no longer hope perma nently hope to act on the offensive. This stayed the Pe ninsula cause upon the very brink of a precipice, for in that v ery curious, useful, and authentic work, called Bour rienne and his Errors,' it appears that, early in 1813, the ever factious Conde de Montijo, then a general in Elio's ar my, had secretly made proposals to pass over, with the forces under his command, to the King ; and soon after- Wards the whole army of Del Parquc, have advanced into La Mancha . , made offers of the same nature. " They were actually in negotiation with Joseph, when the Emperor's orders obliged the French army to abandon Madrid, an d ta k e up the line of the Duero. Then the Spaniards, advertised of the French weakness, feared to continue their negotiations, Wellington soon afterwards advanced, and as this feeling in favour of the intrusive monarch was certainly not general, the resistance to the invaders revived with the successes of the British general. But if instead of diminishing his forces, Napoleon, victo rious in Russia, had strengthened them, this defection would certainly have taken place, and would probably have been followed by others. The King at the head of a Spanish army would then have re -conquered Andalusia, Wellington would have been confined to the defence of Portugal, and it is scarcely to be supposed that England Would have purchased the independence of that country with her own permanent ruin. " This conspiracy is not related by me with entire confi dence, because no trace of the transaction into be found in the correspondence of the King taken at Vittoria. Never theless, there are abundant proofs that the work called Bourrienne and his Errors,' inasmuch as it relates to Jo seph's transactions in Spain, is accurately compiled from that monarch's correspondence. Many of his papers taken ti t Vittoria were lost or abstracted at the time, and as in a C age involving so many pers ons ' li ves , h e wou ld pro b a bl y h ave destroyed the proofs of a conspiracy which had failed, ther e seems little reason to doubt th a t t h e genera l f act i s cor rect. Napoleon also in his memoirs, speaks of secret Ile gociations with the Cortez about this ti me , an d hi s testi ,,,: ° ,°Y is corroborated by the correspondence of th e B r iti s h j"aoassy a t C a diz, and by the continued intri gues aga i nst c British influence. The next chapter will show that the Pol icy of Sp a i n was not the only source of uneasi ness t o Or d Wellington." We hav e s p ace a t present only for another extra c t, which will be read with interest by all who cherish and reve re the memor y o f t h e ill-used, calumniated, and galla nt Moore. Colonel Napier, after marking the clo se affinities between Wellington's retreat from Bur (38, and t h at o f Si r J o h n M oore to Corunna, pays tl l i 4l noble tribute to the military skill of the latter : hoSuch were the resemblances of these two retreats. e differences were, that Moore had only twenty-three t i n -u sand m en in the first part of his retreat, and only " e teen thousand in the latter part ; whereas Wellington caxl , t birty-three thousand in the first part of his retreat, and w er 3 7;ght thousand men in the latter part. Moore's army were'lt" of one nation and young soldiers. Wellington's 4 , 4 ! of different nations but they were veterans. The first h• 'elled through mountains, where th e wea th er was infi i pe Y more incle men t than n the plains, over which the f i : ri d moved ; and until he reached the Esla, Moore's c quite exposed, whereas Wellington's flank was iioeZe‘dvabsy Hill's army until he gained the Tormes. Wel with veteran troops wns opposed to Souham, to onit, t . th eir . 0 the King, and to Jourdan, men not according in views, and their whole army, when united, did not ex ec ed the allies by more than twenty thousand men. and irae,ivvith Young soldiers was at first opposed to four . times, tii~ r ` l ‘,erlY to three times his own numbers ; for it is re aliov 1/1 . , that the French army assembled at Astorga was e eighty thousand, including ten thousand cavalry, which is nearly the same as the number assembled against Wellington on the Tormes ; but Moore had little more than twenty thousand men to oppose to this overwhelming mass, and Wellington had nearly seventy: thousand. The Partidas abounded at the time of Wellington's retreat, they were unknown at the time of Moore's retreat ; and this general was confronted by Napoleon, who, despotic in com mand, was also unrivalled in skill, in genius, and in vigour. Wellington's army was not pressed by the enemy, and he made short marches ; yet he lost more stragglers than Moore, who was vigorously' pressed, made long marches, and could only secure an embarkation by delivering a battle, in which he died most honourably. His character was immediately vilified. Wellington was relieved from his pursuers by the operation of famine, and had therefore no occasion to deliver a battle, but he also was vilified at the time, with equal injustice ; and if he had then died, it would have been with equal malice. His subsequent suc cesses, his great name and power, have imposed silence upon his detractors, or converted censure into praise —for it is the nature of mankind, especially of the ignorant, to cling to fortune." The scene of operations where Gomez, Rodil, Alaix, &c. are at present engaged, is particularly well described in this volume, which will be found the more interesting at tho present moment, as illustrating, by well-defined maps, the relative positions of the belli gerents. BRIGHTON.-SUNDAY. Their Majesties did not leave the Palace on Friday, neither did the Queen yesterday ; but the King drove out for an airing with the Duchess of Gloucester, at noon, re turning about half-past two. The Princess Augusta has been in public both days, at tended by Miss Wynyard. The Duchess of Gloucester also went out on Friday, ac companied by the Countess of Brownlow.

B. and Lady Pechell, the Countess and Lady G. Bathurst, Lord Teignmouth, Lady Howard of Effing ham and Lord Bexley. Divine Service was performed at the Royal Chapel this morning as usual. Their Majesties, the Duchess Glouces ter, and Princess Augusta were in the Royal pew. The Countess of Brownlow was the Lady, and the Rev. J. Wood, Deputy-clerk of the Closet, in Waiting. The King took a drive along the Cliffs this afternoon, in company with the Princess Augusta. COURT CIRCULAR.

MONE'FA::I 7 PANIC, The Post of this evening has the foll ow ing C i j:"."' at iQns on the suspension of payment by the Agricultural Bank : " It cannot but redound very much to the credit of this establishment that, notwithstanding the stoppage for the present of payment in Dublin, most of the country branches continued to discharge their engagements. It would be, perhaps, too much to expect that all cart continue to pay in the present state of their affairs, till their assets shall be come available, and the next instalment of the proprietors paid in. But there can be no doubt that the course they have adopted will strengthen the public confidence ; and, as no reasonable doubt can he entertained of the ultimate liquidation of all their liabilities, perhaps the present. em barrassment will have the effect of enforcing the necessity of caution, not only upon them, hereafter, but all Banking establishments, public and private. The truth is, the circu lation has been pushed too far. It will now, and for some time to come, be necessarily limited. That it has been ex tended too widely needs not demonstration, or, if any were required, we should look for the proof in the rapid rise of the markets. It is true, there has been been a short crop —and the United States have come to Europe for corn— still we doubt whether prices would shoot up so rapidly but for the facilities of speculation afforded by the Banks." BANK OF IRELAND.—From the same journal we extract some remarks made in a long article on the Treasury minute, which we published on Saturday:—" The Treasury Minute, will, in a very short time, produce a prodigious change in our Monetary System, and oblige the Bank of Ireland to modify its circulation to an extent of which, at present, it appears to have very little idea. In truth, the Minute-- notwithstanding all our preliminary warnings—came like a thunder-clap upon the Directors. Whatever effect this may have upon the Establishment in question, it has been al ready productive of the most salutary consequences upon credit in this country. Notwithstanding the suspension of payments by the Agricultural Bank, an event calculated to depress credit generally, it is a fact that, for the two last days, the run on all the other Banks has considerably subsided : and we learn that to-day it was scarcely felt. Nay, the Bank of Ireland itself is not called upon for gold. But it is beneficial to the country. It is, to a certain ex tent, beneficial to the Bank of England, and to the credit of the country ; for it will supersede the necessity of drain ing the Old Lady of Threadneedle-st. of all her hard-gotten earnings in the shape of sovereigns, and may be a means hereafter of enabling her to regulate the exchanges to her satisfaction. The Treasury Minute will have the effect of restoring confidence in England ; and that confidence, there can be no doubt, will be extended to this country ; it will serve, pro tanto, to retain the gold in the coffers of the Mother Bank, and it will operate, besides, far and wide, in Scotland. It is true, they have no metallic issue in Scotland worth talking about ; but, in a general panic—if such should come—the Banks of Scotland would he run upon for gold as well as any other in the United King dom, if this Treasury Minute had not been issued. They will now supply themselves with Bank of England paper instead ; and thus, so far as the circulation of the United Kingdom is concerned, people need apprehend no run for gold." RUN FOR GOLD..—ThiS " mania" has seized certain de luded persons in the vicinity of Carrick-on-Suir ; and the consequence is, that business has become suspended, until returning reason shall teach them the folly of their conduct. The intelligent portion of the community, including those who have the greatest interest in the stability of the Bank, viz., the merchants, traders, and shopkeepers, took the most decisive method to bring the workers of mischief to a sense of their duty. When they found that the "run" was perse vered in, they called a meeting, which was held on Tuesday evening, when resolutions of surprise at the demand for gold on Joint-stock Banks—of confidence in the National Bank of Ireland, and particularly in the Carrick-on-Suir Branch, were unanimously adopted.— Waterford Chronicle. MR. O'CortrNELL IN COURT.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. O'Connell appeared in the case of Jones v. Conway. The former was detained in custody more than 30 days. This, the Learned Gentleman contended, was contrary to law ; and as his client had been treated with much cruelty, he now applied for an attachment against Woodburne, the gaoler, to whose custody the tithe victim in question had been committed to the gaol of Limerick. The Court, after hearing Mr. Bennell , who was on the other side, refused Mr. O'Connell's motion, with costs. ANOTHER TITHE VICTORT.—Poor Reilly is no more ! Another victim has thus been given to the Moloch of the establishment. Had this unfortunate " rebel "been in the maturity of life he could scarcely survive the cruel or deal through which he was compelled to pass to purge his contempt for the Exchequer. We would suggest to Dean Murray the propriety of preaching a charity sermon in support of his helpless widow, aged 73, if he can spare so much time from his exertions in favour of the Jews. LONGFORD ELECTION.—We understand that a young officer, Mr. Blackall, went to Longford. to-day to canvass the electors on Orange principles. He will, no doubt, be met by the spirited men of Longford with a scornful rejec tion. Every possible exertion will be made to trammel them—a little activity on their part will defeat the schemes of their enemies, and secure to them the object of their choice, Mr. Luke White. DUNGARVAN ELECTION.—The Hon. Mr. Phipps, it is understood, has declined the honour of representing the Borough, and many of the electors speak of Mr. P. G. Barron as a candidate. CHIEF BARON.—The important argument respecting writs of rebellion, in which Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Dick son, K. C., are engaged, had been fixed for this day ; but, owing to the continued illness of Chief Baron Joy, the case was again postponed. His Lordship, we understand, has been suffering under a severe attack ; but hopes are enter tained that he will be sufficiently recovered to preside in the Court of Exchequer early next week.—Dublin Evening Post. JUSTICE RENT.—The contributions for the last week amounted to no less than 360/. 14s. 4d. At half-past three the mail from London had not ar rived, owing to the state of the wind. Some shipwrecks are reported. Sir Walter and Lady Scott have arrived at the She-- bourne Hotel, Dublin. COMPLETION OF HORACE WALPOLE'S COR RESPONDENCE.—A new and much cheaper edition of Horace Walpole's celebrated correspondence with George Mon tagu, Esq., and other distinguished persons of his time, is on the eve of publication. These delightful letters extend over a period of no less than twenty-four years, and include the correspondence of this " Prince of Letter-writers" with the following among other eminent individuals :—Hon. H. S. Conway, Rev. W. Cole, Lady Hervey, Richard West, Esq., Mr. Gray, Countess of Ailesbury, Rev. Mr. Birch, David Hume, Esq., Lady Craven, Rev. W. Mason, Mrs. Hannah More, &c. The work will form an indispensable companion to Walpole's Correspondence with Sir Horace Mann. Numerous curious illustrative notes arc now first added by the editor, A man named Edelmann, died lately at Bohemia, at the age of 115 years. His father was a mason, and he followed the same trade. He did not marry until he was 50, and then had seven children, of whom three survive him. He was passionately fond of music till he lost his hearing about two years ago. His memory was excelent, and he frequently related facts which had taken place a cen• tury back. His last illness was of a month s duration. REPRESENTATION OF LANCASTER:—The town has for the past week presented the appearance of an ap proeching contested election. On Saturday last, George Marton, Esq., of Caponwray, issued an address to the elec tors, offering himself as a candidate at the next election. On Tuesd a y morning M r . M ar t on , i n com p any w ith hi s friends, commenced a canvass, and, as is usual on such oc casions, expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the result of it. Thomas Green, Esq., of Whittington-hall, and P. M. Stewart, Esq., the present members, each made their appearance among the electors on Wednesday last, and com menced an active canvass on Thursday. Mr. John Greg, a respectable cotton-manufacturer, on behalf of his brother, \V. R. Greg, E sq., who is now in France, has issued an ad dress to the e l ectors, i n wh i ch he made good h i s promise to come forward in the event of a dissolution. Thus, then, the candidates are—Mr. Stewart and Mr. W. R. Greg, Reformers ; and Mr. Thomas Greene and Mr. Marton, in the Tory interest.—Blackburn Gazette, Mr. David Hudson put a period to his existence on Wednesday evening last, at his lodgings in Oxford. road, by a process not generally resorted to, namely, bleeding to death. The unfortunate gentleman lost a beloved wife `about eighteen months ago, since which period his mind had been so much depressed, that it became necessary to pay more than ordinary attention to his actions. About five o'clock on the above evening he r"turned home, and, com plaining of illness, said he should go to bed, and desired his landlady not to disturb him ; she, however, thinking he would require a little aliment, resolved to disobey his man date, and in order to let him have some chocolate (his fa vourite beverage), she opened the door of his room, where he l* weltering in his blood, which was still trickling from the main artery of his right arm, which he had opened, the lancet still remaining i n his ri g ht h an d.

An order was received in the Dockyard, on Friday week, to employ 120 shipwrights five weeks, and 10 pair of sawyers six weeks, six days in the week. The shipwrights arc to put together those parts of lower masts and bow sprits of ships of the line that may be properly seasoned. In addition to this, 20 pair of sawyers are to be employed cut t. ng parts for masts, to supply the place of those about to be used. These men will be allowed to earn unlimited wages ; their work is " job work."—Plymouth Journal. FOREIGN IN TELLIGEN CE. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 19.—The following notice seems to con firm the probability o f the news of the arrest of Don Miguel the frontiers of Piedmont Oil " The Xationa/ of Marselles says it is arilrmed that the Prefect of the e.;; i nartment of the Var has received a des:atc% from the French Consul at Nice, informing him that Don Miguel arrived in that city on the 11th- of this month." The Sentinclle des Pyrenees gives us no information re specting the occupation of Bilboa, except that it continued on the 12th. Vice-Admiral Baron Roussin, French Ambassador at Constantinople, was relieved from quarantine Saturday last, and set out for Paris on Tuesday. Several journals had said that M. Thiers, in an audience with the King, had given an account to his Majesty of a ne gociation which he had carried on with the ex-Queen of Naples, on the subject of a plan for a marriage between the Prince Royal and a Princess of Baden. The Journal de Paris declares, first, that M. Thiers had no audience of the King yesterday ; and secondly, that the visit of M. Thiers to th Countess of Lipano was an act of politeness, with which politics had no concern.--Journal du Commerce, Nor. 19. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psets, Nov. 18. Five - per Cents., 105 f. 85c. 90c. 85c.

THE CORTES.-SITTING OP THE 9T11._ Senor Huelves — i;esented the report of the Committee appointed to revise the Constitutional code. The Com mittee submitted to the Chamber the three following pro positions :-Ist, Any motion to introduce a new article into the Constitutional code must be made in writing, and signed at least by 20 members. 2d. The motion must be read three times in three distinct sittings, and shall then be referred to the Committee. 3d. The majority necessary for ordinary propositions shall be considered a sufficient majority for the adoption of the motion. Senors Vila, Rodriguez, Vera, and Paton proposed that the absolute majority of the Chamber should be required for the adoption of any motion affecting the Constitutional code. The report was then ordered to be printed. Senor Sancho proposed that a Committee should be ap pointed to take into consideration the public accounts. The Minister of Finance had observed in a former dis cussion that 18 months were required for the preparation of the accounts which were presented to the French Cham bers. Abuses had been spoken of which date from the epoch of the Constitution. .The Government would at a future opportunity give some explanation on this subject. With respect to the financial disorder which had been alluded to, he would observe, that in the month of Sep tember in last year the provinces were invaded by the rebels. Certain contributions had been reduced, and never theless the amount collected up to the month of May fol lowing equalled that of the contributions for the eight months of the preceding year, when the rebels were con fined to Navarre. Such a result could not have been ob tained, if order and regularity had not prevailed in the Finance Department. The motion was then adopted._ . The debato on the report' of the Committee relative to the measures necessary for the termination or the civil war was resumed. The article respecting the establishment of revolutionary tribunals came under consideration, and its discussion was adjourned to the following day. In the sitting of the Cortes of the 10th the discussion on the article of the report of the war committee, which re ferred to the establishment of exceptionable tribunals, was resumed. The Minister of Justice thought the provisions proposed by the committee were too vague, and established no proportion between the offences and the punishment. M. Olozaga expressed his surprise at the change which had taken place in the opinion of the Government ; and declared that any Ministry which followed such a contradictory course should receive from him the same sort of opposition which he had given to the Isturiz Ministry. The Minister of Justice said that no change bad taken place in the opinion of the Government, which approved of the principle, but not of all the provisions, in the report of the committee. A division then took- place, and the Chamber decided by a ma jority of 72 to 37 in favour of the rejection of the applica tion of capital punishment.

(Abridged from the Carlisle Journal.) The firm of the Messrs. Forster has been established for upwards of fifty years in this city ; and there was probably in no part of the kingdom a Bank which enjoyed a larger, if so large, a degree of confidence. The great bulk of our principle tradesmen had dealings with them ; and their notes passed as freely and were as acceptable as gold . throughout a very wide district of the northern counties. The amount of their business must have been very great, and we fear their failure will involve many in difficulties, who had little reason to dream of such an event, a few hours before. It has been rumoured, that the immediate cause of failure was a pressure upon the Messrs. Forster by the house of Glynn and Co., their London agents. We have authority to state that this was not the fact ; and we have reason to believe that the stoppage has been caused al most entirely the extent of their advances to some of their customers, who have been unable to meet the demands upon them. So great was the confidence in the Bank, that great num bers of persons, who had saved a little money, had their little all deposited in it. By this class of persons the loss will be severely felt. Immediately after the failure became known yesterday morning, the Messrs. Connell called some friends together, to whom they submitted a statement of their affairs, and the result was the issue of a notice (a copy of which will be found in another column), signed by the Mayor, J o h n Dixon, Esq., G. G. Mounsey, Esq., and Simon Eward, Esq., stating these parties were satisfied that the Messrs. Connell were able to meet all demands against them, and leave a large surplus. This step in some degree quieted the public mind, as the most perfect confidence could be placed in the honour, integrity, and knowledge of the parties signing the notice. PUBLIC MEETING. FRIDAY EVENING, 6 o'CLocK.—ln consequence of the Bank of Messrs. Forster & Co., of this city, a requisition was this forenoon presented to the Mayor to call a public meeting of the inhabitants to consider what steps might be necessary for restoring public confidence. His worship ap pointed two o'clock for this purpose ; and at that hour the Town Hall was crowded with the principal merchants, manufacturers, tradesmen, and other inhabitants. The Rev. the DEAN of CARLISLE moved that the Mayor should take the Chair. This having been seconded, J. FERGUSON, Esq., took his place, and said, (whilst his feelings almost choked his utterance), little did he imagine, when they elected him to the office he had the honour to fill, that the first public meeting over which he should preside would be connected with the failure of the long-established and highly respectable banking establish ment of Messrs. Forster & Co. An event so serious and unexpected must naturally alarm the public mind, and fill it with distrust of all the other Banks. The object, then, of the present meeting was to consider what steps should be taken to restore the public credit, and to give confi dence in the other Banks. The following resolutions having been moved and se conded, it was unanimously resolved : Ist. That the failure of the Bank of Messrs. Thomas Forster and Co. does not appear to have originated in the present state of the Money Market ; nor in any cause cal culated to affect Banking establishments in general. 2nd. That this meeting, therefore, conceives it a public duty thus promptly to express their opinion, and to state that their confidence in the remaining Banking establish ments in this city and neighbourhood remains unshaken. 3d. That a declaration to the above effect be signed by as many individuals as possible, with the addition that sub scribers will continue to take the notes of the other bankers as heretofore. We, the undersigned, do subscribe the above declaration. Then follows a long list of signatures. THE BALLOON. The following narrative has been received from Mr. Holland : MONDAY, Nov. 7.—Half-past one : ascended. Twelve minutes before three : crossed the Medway, leaving Ro chester about six miles to the left. Five minutes after four : passed two miles to the right of Canterbury. Quar ter after four : saw the sea. Twelve minutes before five : left England, about one mile east of Dover Castle. Ten minutes before six : over France, I think two miles east of Calais. It began to be very dark about ten minutes after we were over the sea, but we did not lose sight of the lights of Dover till we were nearly over France. Ten minutes after nine : barometer 21 inches and 7-tenths. Twenty minutes after nine : barometer 21 inches and 3-tenths. From twenty minutes after nine to half-past eleven : we passed over several large lighted towns, our altitude vary ing from a mile to two miles. There were occasional flashes of lightning. Half-past eleven : over a populous district, lighted with numerous furnaces, which I thought to be the neighbourhood of Namur and Liege. Midnight, by Lon don time.: very dark, the earth being at the same time hidden from our view by an unbroken dense mass of cloud ; the stars, which were bright above, showed the extent of darkness below. TuEsnay, Nov. 8.-24 min. before 2 : Barometer at 21 inches.—From half-past two to half-past three : The earth again obscured by clouds.—Four o'clock : the cloud s having dispersed, we saw extensive plains of mist imme diately on the earth, which had the appearance of water ; the rustling of the forest leaves at the same time produ c i ng a sound exactly like the waves of the sea. We were aware of each of these effects, and were also pretty confident that we were going in an easterly direction.—Five o'clock : there was a slight appearance of daybreak.—Ten min. after five : we were at our greatest altitude, the barometer being a t 20 inches.—Twenty minutes after five ; daybreak began to dim the stars on the eastern part of the horizon, the morn ing stars shining brightly about 25 deg. above.—Quart er after six the day break was now beyond every thing mag nificent. We had not descended above a quarter of a mile from our greatest altitude.—Half-past seven : descended. N.B. This is all London time.—Mr. Holland says, " W e have had a delightful excursion, and have been most hospi tably received, the whole town being delighted with our having descended here. They have lent us the military riding-school for the balloon. It is singular enough that Blanchard descended here about 50 years ago, when he as cended from Frankfort." The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have ar rived at Paris on their way to Rome. The Marquis of Ely was in the former capital on Friday, and the Duchess of Gordon left it on the morning of the same day. Colonel Vaudrey, who is compromised in the Stras burg affair, was, it is said, in Switzerland last year, where be chanced to fall in with a young English lady, intimately con nected the Buonaparte family ; he became violently ena moured of her and married her. It is then in consequence of the influence which his young wife exercised over him, that Colonel Vaudrey suffered himself to be drawn into the conspiracy. —Paris Paper. Earl Cadogan has arrived at Queensberry House, from a visit to the Marquis of Douglas at Arran Castle, to meet the Countess and the .Ladies Cadogan, who arc ex pected to arrive from Paris. His Lordship's son, Lieut. the Hon. George Cadogan, of the Grenadier Guards, has resigned his appbintment of Aide-de-Camp to Colonel Sir G. Berkeley, on the Staff of the lonian Islands, and Lieute nant Faukes, of the 88th Foot has replaced him. The present Mayor of Totnes is the first Dissenter holding that office since the time of Cromwell. His Wor ship is found every Sunday teaching ‘ the poor at the Dis senting Chapel.— Western Timos. Mr. Charles Kemble has left town for Liverpool to meet Mrs. Butler, late Miss Fanny Kemble, and her infant daughter, who are expected from America in the next packet Mr. Butler was prevented from accompanying his wife by urgent business, but he will join them shortly, and remain with them in England until they return. BRISTOL.—The Tories are boasting that they have succeeded in returnino. the Mayor and Sheriff of this ancient city. Mr. Kington, the Sheriff, has long been, and is now, an excellent Reformer. Though the late Municipal elec tion was favourable to the Reformers, yet it will be recol lected that there is still a majority of Tories in the Council, and this will account for the election of a Tory Mayor. The wheat exhibited at the Canterbury market on Saturday met a ready sale at 755. per quarter, and in con sequence of the failure in the northern crops, those well informed on the subject declare that it will be five pounds before the end of the season. The bonded corn has no in fluence on the market, there not being a sufficient for Ame rica, where it fetches a better price than hers.—Kentish Gazette. All the wheat grown by several farmers in the neigh bourhood of Exeter has been taken at 7s. 6d. a bushel, to be delivered as required between this and July next. — North Devon Journal. The dispute between the operative joiners and the masters of this town has not yet been settled.—Hull Ob sesver. On Thursday last, William Brooks, well known in this town, committed suicide by hanging himself from the banisters of the attic staircase. The deceased was a young man, and no cause, we understand, can be assigned for the committal of the rash act, excepting that he drank exces sively, being sometimes out from his work for a month to gether.—Northa mptoll Ch ronicle. A second attem)t to commit self-destruction was made on Thursday night, in the Old Gaol at Chelmsford, by Sarah Rockliff, the unfortunate woman who is confined there for the murder of her child, at Hornchurch. During the night she made fast her handkerchief to some bars over the door of her room, and had suspended herself in such a manner that had she not been discovered by her attendants, death must have ensued in a few minutes.—Essar Herald. BELGIUM. BaUSSELS, Nov. 19.—M. Dansreet, ship-broker, of Brussels, has addressed a letter to the Chamber of Repre sentatives, a copy to the Ministers, and to the Chamber of Commerce at Brussels, in which he complains of the enor mous tonnage duties which Belgian ships have to pay in the Prussian ports. The Leopold, Captain T. A. Derrics, from Peterhead, in Scotland, to Stettin, had to pay tonnage duties to the amount of 972 fr. per ton ; whereas Prussian ships pay in Belgium only 202 fr. per ton. Thus Belgian ships have almost five times as high a duty to pay in Prussia as Prussian ships in Belgium, besides the wharfage duty of 4fr. 75c. per ton.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, Nov. 20.

The last hours of the King's life appear, by all we learn from Goritz, to have been very affecting. With the greatest resignation he received the Sacrament from the Archbishop of Hermopolis, in presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme, and the Duke of Bordeaux. He exhorted his family to unanimity, pardoned all who had p ersecuted him in this world, and besought the Almightyto extend his protection to France, after which he expired.

G . BEECE. ATHENS, OCT. 19—Though nothing has been published officially respecting the marriavt of the King, we have learnt from private letters the agree:ible intelligence, which has caused the greatest joy throughout the country. Changes in the Ministry are still spoken , spoken of, which are expected to take place on the King's return. It seems, however, that it is rather the general conviction of the ne cessity of such a change which has produced the report, than that there is any other indications of it. It is true that in the department of the interior activity, energy, and ability are wanting, and that the departments of public in struction and justice, as one of our journals well remarks, are entrusted to the trembling hands of an old man, who ought to be confined to diplomatic business, for which no special knowledge is required. This incapacity of the Chief is less felt in the departments of justice, because the subordinate members are men of ability ; but it is very sensible in the department of public instruction.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 26.—Colonel Considine and Captains Cook and Biggs, having obtained Lord Ponsonby's authorization to return to England, embarked to-day for Galatz. The departure of these officers, but more especi ally the circumstances which led to it , have produced on the minds of the Turks the most painful impressions. Deeply grieved at seeing vanish the advantages they bad calculated upon as certain to arise from the presence of distinguished Britisl officers in their army, they are highly apprehensive of the judgment the British public may pass on their Go vernment and nation upon hearing of the tn anner i n w hi c h their proffered services have been rejected by the Divan. Opposition to this measure on the part of Russia was the only formidable obstacle the Sultan had to encounter. Nothing but the certainty of seeing himself placed be yond the reach of her resentment, could embolden him to carry his intentions into execution. This confi dence England alone is capable of inspiring him with. Instead of presenting himself as a friend before the Divan and dissipating its alarms, by using the strong and. determined language befitting the representative of a Go vernment proud of the rectitude of its feelings, Lord Pon sonby abruptly addresses to this assembly a note containing the diplomatic demaod—What are the Porte's intentions with regard to the Bri - ish officers lately arrived at Con stantinople ? The Porte's Answer has been such as pru dence under existing circumstances dictated. Mehemet Alli Pasha's daughtar•in-law embarked yester day for Alexandria, on board the steam-frigate Ni/r. Pre vious to her departure the Sultan sent to this lady a va luable present. Every mark of politeness and attention has been shown to her by the authorities. The Dutch Legation has lately seat a communication to the different embassies at Constantinople, and to the va rious Consulates in Turkey, informing them that in future foreign ships bound from the Levant for a Dutch port will be admitted to perform their quarantine under the same conditions as native vessels, on the presenting of a bill of health, signed by a Dutch Cancelleria. The Persian Princes are daily expected hers from Bu charest. According to the last letters from this town, the cholera had manifested itself in many parts of Wallachia. The plague continues its ravages here with unabated vio lence. The number of fresh cases received during the course of last week at the Greek hospital amounted to 170. The Turkish Government, a few days ago, ordered the market where the clothes of the deceased were daily sold to be shut up The belief in the existence of contagion has of late been gaining ground so rapidly among the Turks, that it is not improbable that, before long, quarantine establishments will be formed around the capital. The Russian Minister has lately been renewing, for the third time, his application to the Porte, in order to oblige the Armenians throughout Turkey to recognise the supre macy of the Patriarch at Etchmiazin. An additional proof of the dictatorial authority exercised by M. Boutenieff over the Porte's own subjects, arises from the following fact :—Tl , e Armenians Wad obtained a firman, authorising them to repair, at their own expense, the portion of the church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusa lem where they perform their Liturgy, The Greek Patri arch, who considers this church to be the property of the orthodox church, and views both Armenians and Catholics as being merely tolerated in that building, protested against the firman, as conferring upon the Armenians a right which would in futu. - e enable them to consider themselves always legitimate propr:etors. The case was by him referred to M. Boutenieff's a;_scision. The Porte has, in consequence of his remonstrances, been under the necessity of withdraw ing her obnoxious firma.n. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

An alarming fire broke out this morning about 6 o'clock in the City Road at tl:e extensive premises of the City Saw Mills near the Canal Basin. With the aid of ten or a dozen engines, a plentiful supply of water, and a most efficient force of firemen and police, the steam engine and saws were saved ; but vast damage was done to one wing of the building, where the fire raged with fearful rapidity.—Since writing the above we haw received the following, which we have much pleasure in inserting : " Messrs. Esdaile and Margrave present their compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and beg respectfully to request that in his notice of tl4 fire that has this morning occurred at the City Saw Mills,' he will be kind enough to state, on their authority, that the damage sustained will in no degree suspend the operations of their works.—City Saw Mill s , Nov. 21, 1836." _ _ At Drury.lane to-ni g ht Mr. Booth, after an eight y e ars' sojourn in America, re-appears in his favourite cha racter of the Duke of Gloster, in Shakspeare's tragedy of Richard the Third; and on Thursday he will sustain Sir Giles Overreach, in Massinger's play of A New Way to Pay Old Debts. To-morrow Mr. Forrest will repeat his per formance of Othello; on Wdlnesday, King Lear; and on Friday, Damon,in the play of Damon and Pythias. A new play, by Sheridan Knowles, called The Wrecker's Daughter, is in rehearsal at this theatre, and will be presented in the course of next week. Miss Huddart is said to have a part in it of very deep and powerful interest. Warde, Cooper, and the author himself, have also important parts ih it. A new grand ballet, called The Devil on Two Sticks, under the superintendence of M. Anatole, is in a ctive prepara tion, and will ha produced, with tbo greatest splendour of dress and decoration, in the course of a few days. The coming of age of Lord Fitzallan, eldest son of the Earl of Surrey, and grandson of the Duke of Norfolk, was celebrated on the ith inst. on the estates of his Grace in Sussex, Nottinghamshire, and Suffolk. Lord Fitzallan, in company with Mr. Sackville Lane Fox, has returned from a visit to the Duke of Leeds, at lioraby Castle.
